The Abortion Debate Containment Thread - Put abortion sperging here.

It's perfectly possible to have no options and not be forced by anyone. There is no magic law of the universe that says you must have good options left over. What you are left with has no relationship to what is taken from you or what is done to you. I don't care what you are left with, it's none of my business and is not relevant.

Killing you and leaving you with no options but to die are not the same thing. The man who doesn't give you water in the desert did not cause your death, heatstroke did. Capitalism does not kill millions every year through starvation, they just die of starvation in absence of anyone feeding them. It is not logically possible to cause something or force something by doing nothing.

Just saying it over and over again won't make us take it seriously.
Here's a quick rundown: If you say no, and a human being imposes consequences on you for saying no, you are being forced to do the thing. In literally any other case you are not being forced to do anything. You can't say no to me about your pregnancy, because I'm not doing your pregnancy to you. No one is doing anything to you. No one is imposing anything on you. Your pregnancy is happening on its own, without my involvement. Inaction is not action.

I am forcing women not to have abortions. I am not forcing them to be pregnant. Those are very, very different actions. The latter is rape. Did I rape them? No? Then I did not force them to bear a child.

Not a single person in this thread agrees and you have made zero arguments to try to change anyone's mind.

Exactly. She gets herself pregnant. She forced herself to have a baby. I have nothing to do with it.

He made a good argument that shows why your position is silly and instead of responding to it you just offer detached irony.

If a woman is raped than her rapist forced her to have a baby, not me.
But in the case of 99% of abortions, the woman wasn't raped.

It's not that we're "unable to grasp" it. It's that we disagree, and you haven't argued for it.

We aren't dying on it, you are, and you're dying without even bothering to put up a fight.

He doesn't have any.

How many times are you going to say the exact same thing and expect to hear something other than a chorus of "No?"

No, you are not.

It's an incorrect concept.

She can bare [sic] the child.

Incorrect. I am not forcing her to do anything.

I think he genuinely doesn't understand what you're getting at.

There is no conflict. The mother has no right to the "bodily autonomy" of abandoning her child. Her child has implicit rights to her womb. Children are entitled to their parents. It's not a stranger who has taken up residence, it is her child, who she created. She has fundamental responsibilities toward that child which she does not have the option of giving up. She has no right to abandon her child. She has no moral choice but to raise it. She is obligated not just to carry it for 9 months, and not just for 18 years, but for the rest of her life. The two of them have inextricably linked relationship which can never be negated by either of them, and which imposes responsibilities on them both.
Lol no. If someone puts a gun to your head in order to do something, they're forcing you to do it. I know your autism makes it hard to figure this out, but giving someone a choice of "Death or doing X" isn't giving them that choice. If a woman is pregnant, other than abortion or having it, what are her options? You still haven't answered that.

Yes, exactly. I'm not doing that.
but giving someone a choice of "Death or doing X" isn't giving them that choice.
Is the death imposed by me and caused by my actions, or does it simply happen in absence of me stopping it?

I've answered several times, you just don't like my answer. My answer is "I don't care, it's not relevant."

No, you didn't answer it other than non-answer it by saying "I AM NOT FORCING THEM TO DO ANYTHING!". Except you are forcing them.

I'll ask again: Is it possible for a law to be wrong?

Yes, it is. But abortion isn't one of those wrong laws.

Emotional retards crying about how you hate women if you won't let them murder freely works

I have provided actual legal sources that explain why abortion isn't murder, but you keep autistically screeching otherwise. You're the one putting feels over facts, but we're the emotional ones. Yeah, okay.

Slaves were regarded as subhuman, especially for the purposes of justifying the institution.

They were still considered sentient.

Why lay responsibility at other's feet?

Whose responsibility is it other than the mother's? Are you bawling because a penny of your taxes might pay for it?

I will comment on those papers you linked when I have time to read them.

Not a single person in this thread agrees

I do.
 
Yes, it is. But abortion isn't one of those wrong laws.
Then why are you making arguments from the current state of the law as if it matters?
I have provided actual legal sources that explain why abortion isn't murder,
Literally no one disagrees that the current legal definition is that. You're either too stupid to understand that or are arguing in bad faith.
They were still considered sentient.
That's not relevant. The point of the question is to illustrate that laws can violate human rights, because rights exist independently of laws.
Slaves still had the right to liberty, even though the state said they didn't. That's why slavery was wrong. Without rights existing independently, it is logically not possible for laws to be wrong.
Whose responsibility is it other than the mother's? Are you bawling because a penny of your taxes might pay for it?
Did you just pay absolutely zero attention to the context of the conversation this quote is in? Are you retarded?
Yeah but I'm 90% sure you're a markov bot.
 
No lmao. That is not how force works.
In order to force a woman to be pregnant, I have to cause her pregnancy. Preventing it from being ended is not causing it to happen.
You are missing my whole point. If a woman gets pregnant, you are forcing her to have it. That's force.

I'm not missing your point, your point just isn't working.

Bro what lmao
Every woman who gets pregnant on earth is being forced by me? Damn, I'm a mega-chad.
That's force.
Where's the actual physical force that physically causes her to be pregnant when she wasn't before?
Am I the cause of her pregnancy? No.

Hence why I said "if a woman gets pregnant". You aren't forcing her to get pregnant, but you are forcing pregnant women to bare their child. Hence, you are taking away their choice and forcing them.
 
You aren't forcing her to get pregnant,
Correct.
but you are forcing pregnant women to bare their child
How do I force something to happen that happens without any of my involvement at all?
Hence, you are taking away their choice and forcing them.
I am taking away their choice to murder. I am not forcing them to do anything, I am forcing them not to do something. My responsibility begins and ends at my actions and their direct consequences. There is no daisy chain of responsibility, where my forcing her not to do something makes me responsible for the choices she has left.

You are forcing it to happen by taking away choice. I know you're autistic so this is a hard concept, but just try.

It isn't murder, even though your aspie mind thinks it is

That's just not how force or personal responsibility work.

Bro if you want me to agree with you it's you who has to try, not me.

Women can get pregnant and not by choice. Birth control can fail. Rape and incest exist. Birth defects happen. You just want to force women to be punished for having sex with someone who isn't you. Forcing a baby to be born with something like harlequin ichthyosis (don't google it, seriously, it's gross) is cruel. Aborting a baby with harlequin ichthyosis is just showing mercy.

What does any of that have to do with me?

No, you just want me to have a position stupid enough for you to beat, because you can't beat what you're actually facing. You're trying to deflect now until the conversation shifts enough for people to forget that you lost this exchange.
Forcing a baby to be born
I've never performed a C-section, which is the only thing I can think of that would qualify as 'forcing a baby to be born.'

Getting rid of the choice to have an abortion is still forcing the kid to be born. Removing the choice is indeed forcing them. Let me give you a scenario:

A couple decides to have a kid. They get genetic testing done. Turns out the kid is going to have harlequin ichthyosis, which means the kid is going to be living in severe pain, constantly dehydrated, suffer from infections for a few years until one of the infections kills them. You think the couple should not be able to show the baby mercy by aborting it, and thus sparing it a life of suffering? That's pretty shitty.

Saying this for the ten thousandth time won't make me agree.

Nope.

What's shitty about preventing them from committing murder?
